Movie Reviews

Movie Gurus - 10/10 by James O'EhleyWith so much nasty and unpleasant stuff floating around in contemporary culture, something as good-natured as this comes as a surprise.

Time Out - 10/10 by Tom HuddlestonMiyazaki's giddy, glorious seaside story about a budding young witch and her sarcastic cat.

CineVue - 10/10 by David SugarmanIt’s a sweet, small story that deals comfortably in big emotions when required, whilst also taking time to speculate on the nature of art and the difficulties of navigating adolescence. One of the greatest triumphs of Miyazaki’s movie, however, is how well-defined each of its characters truly are.

Variety - 10/10 by Ken EisnerTop-drawer kiddie fare for both fans of the exotic and mainstream family auds.

The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Keith PhippsKiki's slow pace and light-on-conflict plot may surprise kids used to American animation, but it's difficult not to be won over by the film's endearing characters and beautiful animation, as well as a storyline that stresses the values of independence and friendship.

IndieWire - 9/10 by Charles SolomonMuch of Kiki’s charm comes from Miyazaki’s understated approach to the material. Instead of grabbing the viewer by the lapels and insisting everyone’s having a great time, Miyazaki leads the audience into the story with unobtrusive grace.

Movie Mezzanine - 9/10 by Christopher Runyon[Miyazaki] revitalizes conventional tropes, using elegant imagery to say something substantial about growing up, and he even subverts gender stereotypes along the way.

Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusOne of Miyazaki's most personable protagonists, a delightful cast of supporting characters, and a rambling, episodic story full of charming incident and irresistible imagery.
